I have, drastically , solved my problem: I have replaced the old NEC writer with a new Samsung SH-224BB and I have burned these RITEK media succesfully! Ciao, Giangi

Yes, most of them were RICOH... actually only now, after many years!, I have learned the difference... I guess my device is too old for these new 8x disks... A friend of mine has a not used burner that will give to me for a test, he doesn't remember the brand. Yes, next time I'll take much more care of the real manufacturer... Thank you for teaching me something new! Ciao, Giangi

I have managed to fallback to the original Nec's firmware v1.04 but nothing changed: I trashed one more DVD... It looks like my drive doesn't like this media at all!! I have tried on a HP laptop using a Samsumg drive: it has been burned perfectly! ...only difference is that on my Nec the available speeds are: 4x 6x and 8x while on the Samsung are: 3x 4x and 6x! I have burned at 4x speed With modified Nec's firmware With original Nec's firmware O the HP with Samsun drive ...but the worst thing is that the DVD burned on the Samsung is not readable on my Nec!!! On the compatibility list my Nec should support 8x speed... http://www.ridatausa.com/Portals/0/CompChart/DVDDL/DVDplusR_DL_Compatibility_at_DVD_Burner_05_05_2010_1.pdf

Hi! After many DVD-DL well written, today I have opened a new pack from "Ridata" (disk manufacturer is Ritek) and I have toasted the first three... first I was burning an iso image but then I have tried burning directly without saving it as iso first. My writer is maybe a bit old, is a NEC 3540 with a modified firmware (never had trouble with it before) from http://liggydee.cdfreaks.com/page/ The log file is attached... In the auto speed list these DVD are saved as RITEK-S04-66 Thanks and ciao! Giangi ImgBurn.log
